| dc.description.abstract | Rural women belong to the most deprived section of the society facing adverse conditions in terms of social oppression and economic inequality, and being poor. Hence the existence of a women deprivation, on one hand, and the intervention of Rural saving and credit cooperative, as a mitigation measure for these problems, on the other hand, are the motivation to conduct this study. The objective of the study was to analyze women empowerment through women saving and credit cooperatives. The researcher collected and use primary data from 6 Rural saving and credit cooperative through questionare and interview methods. This study also employed multi-stage sampling techniques. The collected data were analyzed with both descriptive statistical tools like mean, stanDard deviations t-test for continuous variables and X2 for categorical variables, and logit regression model for econometric analysis was used. Women’s empowerment was measured with empowerment index by summed up Economic Security Index (ESI), Purchase Decision Index (PDI), and Control over Asset Index (COAI), Mobility Index (MI), and Awareness Index (AI). The estimated result of the logit model revealed that age, education, financial literacy training (FL), consultation service (CS), and loan for IGA (lnLforIGA), were significant and had a positive effect on the probability of women empowerment family size, and distance from RuSaCco were significant and had a negative effect on women empowerment. This research recommended that the government, NGOs, and the researchers should strengthen women saving and credit cooperatives and should target those suffering most from empowerment failures to create quality women communities. | en_US |
